Moving to a 64 bit word size has other effects than simply increasing the amount of memory that can be addressed. When doing mathematical computations, if a number doesn't fit in your word you have to fake it. 64 bit words allow for much bigger numbers that can now be handled natively by the CPU. This might make a big difference in crypto performance, like on your SSL connections.
Propellant-less floating robot on a spaceship? There must already be footage of the thing floating around with a laser pointer attach and the astronauts swinging tools while making light-saber noises. At least that's what I would do.
-> (e.g. the output of a GPLed program is not GPLed, so why should executing a program on a 3D printer be any different?)
The output of a GPL program (a compiler for example) might not be governed by the license on the program, but might be governed by the license on the source file (the design). I can't take Open Source code, compile it with a GPL compiler and sell it for profit without including the source and attribution because "the output of a GPLed program is not GPLed".
I can't use the IBM logo for my own personal use because I 2D printed it myself. Manufacturing does not wash away any need to respect I.P. rights.
I agree that a VM is the best solution IF you can keep a user in the VM. The VM software that I've used in the past puts the host machine a click away. A Guest account isn't perfect, but it's pretty easy and gives you some lower level protection. It also means that I don't have to do anything strange or special when I let other people use the machine. They use it in the same mode that I use it. The browsers themselves will still be pretty vulnerable to bad plugins but I run a virus scanner which helps.
A Guest account in Guest Mode would have been nice, but they took that feature away in the release.
The media PC in my living room boots directly into the Guest account. Under the guest account I can USE almost all the programs I have installed seamlessly. There are some minor issues with software updates, XBOX controllers, and a complete inability to configure network settings, but that's about it. If I need to do anything that requires more rights I can deal with the UAC prompts that show up or simply log out and back in as an admin.
I know it's not flawless but I still feel pretty comfortable letting my tech savvy (e.g. dangerous) friends stay over unattended. It wouldn't hold up to anyone seriously determined to break the security but they have access to the physical machine and can't really be stopped anyway.
Let's put this to a slashdot vote. I vote that MORE end-user applications should have a CLI. If you don't understand it, don't use it. Nothing essential should require it.
You will want to avoid the old paper red/cyan glasses and go with the slightly more expensive plastic ones that are designed for LCD monitors and TVs. Otherwise be prepared for a LOT of ghosting. Also, nvidia makes platic red/cyan glasses that are designed to fit over regular glasses. You may also need to calibrate your monitor to make sure that red is really red and cyan is really cyan.
I was personally very surprised at how well red/cyan works. Of course the colors get a little muddle, but not as much as I had expected.
What kinds of companies do Kay Hagan and the other sponsors invest in? I know there are supposed to be laws preventing congress members from knowing the composition of their portfolios, but I don't know enough about it to understand why those laws don't seem to have any effect.
I haven't had a cable subscription for years and now get all my television from Hulu or Netflix. I also listen to Pandora Radio at home, work, and in the car. I guess I just don't get to know about the emergency evacuation plans that will save my life.
Hopefully, streaming media over IP is just a fad and they won't have to rethink the relevance of a broadcast based Emergency Alert System.
I've watched for years as other browsers have stolen idea after idea from Opera. Tabs, Start Pages, Gestures (via Mozilla plugin), Advanced cookie control, Saved Sessions, etc.
If it makes it through the disk? I would much prefer a device that made several holes with whatever force was necessary versus one that makes one hole with as much force as possible.
This is definitely not the FiOS that I have. I can stream Netflix and Hulu and be running 2 games and using voip without any noticeable slowdown. I could probably add a couple more HD streams and still have some headroom.
And in practice, I get almost that same bandwidth upstream (35Mb/s)
+1
Thank god someone else out there will acknowledge this. Many of the "new" features (Gestures, Tabs, Sessions, popup-blocking, advanced cookie management) all the other browsers are waving at each other were first implemented by Opera, often years earlier. Opera rocks.
PS3 otherOS disables the "Reality Synthesizer" and provides a 2D framebuffer instead, requiring homebrew developers to run their 3D graphics engines entirely on the cell. The cell is easily powerful enough to do this, but it'd be nice to have the power to write fast code that also has amazing graphics.

Omg, do NOT search for carbuncles. Gross...
Could be that the hacker was just trying to clean up their own, embarrassing listening history.

I think someone is trying to get Microsoft to go out of business by tricking them into doubling down on the Surface RT.

Missiles have had inertial navigation systems for some time now. Where's the advance that brings this technology to regular consumers?
And the Guest account means I can let my friends game on the machine. Try running BF3 in a VM.

Welcome to the schizophrenic world of technology.
The image clearly shows the WiMax phones will continue to be sold through 2012. WiMax support will probably exist for 2 years after that (2014)

Lol, agreed! Although that might have resulted in some trampling deaths...
